Joining the club soon...
Need to get through PPI Monday, but have a deposit down on a 2007 4.8 w 40k on the clock. Can't put the convertible through another winter - need a tank!

Pure dumb luck. Drove a bunch of different things yesterday decided ~5P that the X5 4.8 was what I wanted. 15 minutes later, was working a deal for this one. Hell Frontier even had a $40 flight to go pick it up.

Well - the car needs front brakes, fluids and filters, spark plugs, and the biggie is leaking transmission pan and sleeve. All expected stuff on a 2007 car (at least from what I can tell) but $3500 in total at dealer.

Probably not the photos everyone was hoping to see on day one of ownership!

I say "Most" because while I did my own trans service with ZF fluid and filter/pan, I attempted to replace the mechatronics sleeve (wasn't leaking, but PM is a good thing... right?) and couldn't get the new one seated properly. My hands are too damn big to fit into that little space. |

Towed to dealer I trust, like you said get it through clean bill of health and off we go. Have a play date scheduled with my nephew to run over some shit and play in the mud so hopefully will be up and running soon.
